Rick was able to come with me to my monthly appointment yesterday -- where he heard Shortstop's heartbeat for the first time. Doctor says we have a very strong and healthy baby -- could hear it kicking! And we've gotten the go-ahead to schedule our 20 week ultrasound, where we will finally find out whether Baby G is a boy or a girl! We're aiming for the end of the month.
Everything is still going great -- getting bigger by the day. In fact, between my last appointment and yesterday's, I had gained a total of 8 pounds. But I attribute some of that to the shoes I was wearing when I stepped on the scale, if only to make myself feel better. :) My co-workers are starting to pat the belly and remark about how I'm growing. For now, it doesn't bother me -- but ask me again in a few months!!
I've been able to feel little flutters on my right side every so often, but no strong kicks yet. I'm sure I won't miss it when it happens for the first time! There is just so much we have to look forward to, and we are still feeling so blessed and surrounded by love from our family and friends!
